Abstract
The current superyacht "Industry" continues to grow both in overall size and variety of vessel designs. Superyachts are sometimes only used privately by their owners whilst others are chartered out on a commercial basis and many operate in a combination of such modes. The largest numbers are for under 12 passengers and thus, despite having operations more akin to cruise ships, they are considered by most regulations as "Cargo Ships" those yachts carrying 13 or more passengers are considered "passenger ships". Essentially Superyachts are just another type of ship and, as such, can easily benefit from developments in improving many ship related operations by MASS. This paper will cover a few of these areas. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and not necessarily those of his employer.
